Candelabrum
by MASO DI BARTOLOMMEO, Bronze
In 1440, Donato de’Medici, Bishop of Pistoia, commissioned from Maso a bronze candelabrum and two pedestals for silver candlesticks, which were completed by the end of 1442. The monumental candelabrum is still preserved in Pistoia Cathedral and shows a classicist taste in the decorative finishes that recalls certain details of Donatello’s works.
